I was waiting for Shukla and Sawhney to weigh in here. This basically settles it. Sawhney will probably go into further details in his next analysis video, but as expected, it's clear that India got out maneuvered both diplomatically and militarily. And as he has been saying from the start, this is just a preview of things to come over the next decade. The funny part is that India's political and military establishment has no interest in listening to people like Sawhney/Shukla, who actually understand what's happening, and whose forecasts are usually around 85% accurate. If they listened to analysts like this they'd actually get somewhere.

You sillly delusional hindu nationalist

:p:D
congratulations, you looked up a basic geographical fact. Obvioulsy the Galwan, like most indus tributaries, originates in China. However, the standoff there started when China claimed the whole thing and tried to prevent Indian patrols and bridge building in the valley. tHat is because China's 1959 claim line lies at the Galwan Mouth, where it joins the SHyok. Unfortunately for China, PLA failed to do that.

You are asking evidence of india not patrolling from China?
Shouldn't you ask that from Indian government?
ACtually, I have already provided interviews of an Indian Army Officer who actually served on Pangong andwent into detail about Indian patrolling ops. Unlike Shukla and Sawhney who never even sered in LAdakh. Then again, you are only listening to them becasue they share your views, yet you discount other far more respected Indian analysts like Nitin Gokhale, Snehesh Alex Philip, Major Manik Jolly, Manu Pubby, as well as non- Indian experts such as Nathan Ruser, Dr. M Taylor Fravel, and Jeff Smith. Then again, you are not interested in learning about the ground reality or what the status quo was actually like, you are interested in an echo chamber.

BTW, according to Sawhney, there should have been a cyber/slgorithim war in 2020. that date got pushed to 2024. He also claimed that China would never disengage from Galwan, which it did in July. So much for being "always right"

You forgot that you went to claim galwan, only to "disengage" half kilometer.
Also you forgot to mention, you went beyond Finer 3, not 4, You were pushed within your own land
You also forgot, as part of "disengagement" , now you have to vacate all the so called height advantage within your own territory.

Most importantly, there is no "perceived territory". Either you have it or you don't. What china says is another matter. Now you can't patrol your own territory. China can "perceive" more territory & push you even further. Already they did vacate their claimed land :cool: :cool:
You have also been force to vacate your own territory, by your logic. ANd we are still holding your territory in Galwan, according toy your 1959 claim line.

You cant even map dude. :lol:

Entirety of Depsang plains is located east of Y-Junction in Ladakh as can be seen in this map by US governments NOAA.
He is conveniently forgetting that Chinese claims in Depsang are actually 18-20 km west of the Y junction. Just like PLA blocks indian troops, India blocks PLA troops. And if we follow their 1959 cliaim line, india is terchically occupying hundred of sq km of Galwan.

I thought he is chinese and pointing fingers at India .... he is from a country famous for lungis and zero achievements, some confused guys try to fight Indians from the region. ;)
I don't know what a lungi is but as soon as you said zero achievements, I thought you must be talking about India...
wondering why china withdrew from areas of pre-disengagement?
wouldnt china hold the advantage on to it?
there is a Chinese saying "letting the tiger off to hill invites incessant troubles"
This ain't a tiger; this is a house cat with developmental delays. If it promises to be good, let it walk around. If it acts up, shove it back in the cage.
If he act like Chinese and speak like Chinese then he is Chinese.
This is why Indian "logic" is unsuitable for science and technology.
You have also been force to vacate your own territory, by your logic. ANd we are still holding your territory in Galwan, according toy your 1959 claim line.
Forced with no force. Where is the force? The guys who ran into a frozen river scattering or the guys who shot down your own helicopter? Which of those is the force? LOL

India's tradition: beg for food, then when given, proudly say you robbed it LOL

Chinese leadership actually ought to understand (and I bet they did and do) that this confrontation has totally converted India's political spectrum to become firmly set after equaling the score with China. As much as the Jai Hind internet trolls wish to create false victories, the real danger is an organised Indian offensive with coherently formed strategies. There are sensible and intelligent Indians who are more convinced of this than ever just based on shifting attitudes. Formerly these people would have been far more balanced (yes I know the Jai Hind voices really drown them out).

The CCP better have endgame plans. It serves China well to have India's current losses (near total acceptance of 1959 deal) proceed with low profile and the Jai Hind victory cries do help facilitate this ironically. But Indian leaders do know better and will certainly act accordingly when opportunities arise. China needs to watch this space carefully.

Abandoning China's claims however outrageous one might consider them (in light of more threatening dangers from the US), may not be good for domestic faith in the CCP but this current path does provide just enough leeway to both parties. We just need to separate the Jai Hind voices from those in India who understand the reality. I wonder if it's possible the relationship approaches repair in the distant future.
How would it benefit India to do anything now that status quo ante has been reached in almost all sectors? Even if India does recognize a line close to CHina's 1959 line, Chinese troops are still behind finger 8, and china is far from the line in otehr sectors(particularly Galwan, where the line is where the GAlwan meets the Shyok. India's main strategic goal of the standoff beyond acheiving status quo ante was to secure its strategic infrastructure, adn that has also been done now that PLA has moved back from the fingers. You yourself said India got the best deal possible and still holds more that China was willing to give in 1959.

Except you have not provided any evidence of Indian patrols regularly reaching finger 8. If that were the case, surely there would be some video or photo of a confrontation between Indian and Chinese troops like there have been at finger 4? And even if Indian troops did patrol up to 8, that was dwarfed by the number of times China patrolled up to 4 and even beyond. Not to mention China had vastly more infrastructure. So China clearly had more to lose between finger 4-8. The fact is the situation in Pangong both north and south, is back to the status quo ante as of 2019, just as India had been insisting. Indian actions in the south were to secure that status quo,

BTW, I am pretty sure you aren't aware that before Indian actions on the southern bank, China insisted taht India vacate Dhan Singh Thapa as a condition to disengagement? That is because China's 1959 line is beyond finger 4. Finger 4 was the agreed LAC in 1992,
OH, I have. You might want to go back some pages to view them If you are very sincere that is.
India has patrolled to Point 8, by foot.

China built the infrastructure between F8 and F4 after the flare up. India could've pushed its infra buildup beyond F2/3 but didn't (couldn't).


India started "insisting" when? If it is very well after the main events then I don't think you can claim that as India's original demand. Again, succinct responses to your claims has been posted. You may want to click back a few pages.

China claims till Finger 2. It hasn't violated the border agreements signed with India.

Are you denying you retreated ? Then again, denial of reality is a favorite pastime around here.
